biography
Blakhatz Inner city Sydney band blakhatz , together since late 2005, mix it up with retro harmonies, laptop dancing and guitar trio grunt. Not so much salvation but a soundtrack. Scenes include: Bozo Creep- remember to never assume the Mission Statement position in front of the children. The Ballad Of Rusty Grunt - a hotel clerk’s epiphany Ooga Booga Boogie - the Spin Cycle that helps keep us all “on task” Red Hand Rock - take time to be moved by an ancient presence even older than television Falling - love song for the planet Surf’s Down -the good, the bad and the ugly mix it up to a darabouka driven surf beat. Bento Baby - unrequited lunch Tokyo style Brilliant Shine- Come for a drink at the Hope and Optimism – Golden Dreaming all round. Little Kimi - duty puts love on hold, but just like in the unreal world we get the threat of a happy ending. River Between Us - a song for friends who have left this party way too early. Trash The Room will we be laughing out the other end of our board shorts when we are lounging on Katoomba Beach. Cheaters TV – time for a reality cheque Okinawa Cowboys - Johnny go marching home !blakhatz is Guru Greg on vocals, guitar, programming and horoscopes: Doctor Mark J on bass, guitar and vocals ; Diamond Jem on drums, ukulele, keys and vocals.

re This Wheel's on Fire Vid
Saw new member alex checking the rules re covers on bandamp and reminded me .
We were advised that a good way to get it out there is knock up a video for the song , post to youtube then tag the crap out of it.You get a matched material flag from youtube & its all kosher.Linking to original artist and those who have covered the song will pull in some hits to your page.
This one took 4 hours to shoot and only moderate cursing during the editing...but we are getting better.
Here in sydney FBI radio 94.5fm have a program that feature cover versions only.So if you get a good one down send a download link to the dj Stuart.He picked it up on the strength of the youtube vid.

Hope you enjoy as much as we did
